The field site contains over 45 stone circles, passage graves, standing stones and dolmen tombs. Carrowmore is thought to be 700 year older than the spectacular Newgrange tomb built in County Meath in 3200BC. The site is overlooked by Maeve's Cairn on top of Knocknarea Mountain. The visitors centre is open May to September, but there is free access to the site all year round. (Tel: 071 61534.
